Very nice guys but this is actually the South American variety (Monocirrhus polyacanthus), this thing is super cool to watch it hunt it doesnt just look like a leaf it lives as a leaf at all times. They are notoriously difficult to keep cause they prefer low ph soft water and MUST be feed live fish, I dropped a small mosquitoefish in the other day and it immediately went into hunting mode slowly stalked it to the corner then it layed completly sideways and floated to the top mimicking a floating leaf and waited till the little fish came in striking distance.

THOSE WHO REFUSE KNOWLEDGE ARE DOOMED TO FAIL.

WATER CHANGES ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF THIS HOBBY. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE SO OR SIMPLY DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING THEM, RE-HOME YOUR FISH, SELL YOUR AQUARIUM & FIND ANOTHER HOBBY, AS YOU WILL FAIL UTTERLY, COMPLETELY, & MISERABLY.
